Title: Organics Management in Québec: From Scratch to Banning!
Presenter: Sophie Taillefer, Recyc-Québec
The Québec waste management policy has identified a 60 % recycling target for organics for the year 2015 and a ban to elimination in 2020. Based on 2010 and 2011 data, more than 4.4 million tons of organics residues are generated each year in the province and less than 20% is recycled.
In order to reach these aggressive goals the Quebec government has invested 650 M $ in a grant program dedicated to the implementation of anaerobic digestion and composting facilities across the province. Many projects are under way and innovative measures will have to be developed to optimize the use of biogas, digestate and compost.
Other means have been put into place such as a 20 $ tax levy for every ton of waste sent to landfill or incineration. EPR programs are also implemented for many types of recyclable waste.
